WHO BUILDS A BETTER BATTERY?!?!

zachhill · Apr 4, 2011

Hey Guys,
Got the 08Fe450 back on the road this week and my battery is pretty shot. It has the standard OEM yuasa still. Went to batteries plus to get a new one and it looks like I can get one that is exactly the same for 70 or so bucks. http://www.batteriesplus.com/product/33 ... -2010.aspx
I know the price isnt too bad but I have not been too impressed with the bikes starting ability and I was wondering if there is a battery out there that will have a higher CCA or Amp Hours. I dont mind Kicking her over the first start of the day but I want good e starts after that.

they are amazing, and light as a feather. Give Joe a call and talk to him.

I've bought several batteries plus brand batteries for my KTM's just before selling them. Each time I installed one I was surprised to find that they always crank harder than the more expensive brands, and that includes the turntech battery. Because I sold the bikes, I don't know how long they lasted, but I've decided my next battery will be a batteries plus brand. Cranks hard and is cheap.

Rock on I am thinking I will go for the Batteries plus when it is time. For now i have installed a trickle charger lead and charge it overnight. I thought the battery was shot out but it seems to be keeping charge. I think batteries plus does make a good product. What I read about the turntech is that it only has 5 amp hours and no cca listed so I am leary of trying it. If anything I want a bigger heavier battery with higher ratings. Thanks for the info guys

I use this one. http://www.batterystuff.com/knowledge-base/index.php?action=article&id=185Have been for about 4 months, it has yet to even hesitate to start. I had a Scorpion in before that, which worked very well, but it was a few years old and I was itching to try a lighter battery. Since the battery shop I work at was going to be testing them, I volunteered my bike for the test....

Now that looks like the ticket. does the 210cca 14 amp hour fit the yuasa 7 hole?

This battery slides right in with room to spare.
